Is the problem related to VirtualBox itself or to the web frontend (VBox
Web Console)? VirtualBox

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Access VirtualBox functionality via VBoxShell python script (python  
./vboxshell.py)
2. Create a VM (createVm sample Ubuntu
3. Attach a controller to the VM (attachCtr sample  "IDE Controller" IDE PIIX4)
4. Register a hard drive file (registerHdd 
/home/fyproject/Project_VMs/Core_4400/Core1.vdi)
5. Attempt to attach the registered hard drive (attachHdd sample 
36f83626-34b4-4367-b40c-75f94ac1efcc "IDE Controller" 0:0)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No output was expected or possible output stating that the hard drive had been 
attached to the virtual machine. The actual output was:
Objects of type 'unicode' can not be used as COM objects

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
VirtualBox version:  4.0.4_OSE
Operating System Version: Ubuntu 11.04 

Please provide any additional information below.
A resolution for this problem is quite urgent.
